Abstract: A voice interaction system includes one or more independent, concurrent state charts, which are used to model the behavior of each of a plurality of participants. The model simplifies the notation and provide a clear description of the interactions between multiple participants. These state charts capture the flow of voice prompts, the impact of externally initiated events and voice commands, and capture the progress of audio through each prompt. This system enables a method to prioritize conflicting and concurrent events leveraging historical patterns and the progress of in-progress prompts.

Abstract: Paint systems, in accordance with exemplary embodiments, of the present invention include a foundation base component and a top coat component. The foundation base component is tinted to match the top coat component to provide both the desired amount of hiding of colors or markings on the substrate to which the paint system is applied, and to enhance the brightness and hue of the color of the paint system. Furthermore, in another innovative aspect of the present invention, the foundation base component comprises at least one low molecular weight polymer that undergoes self-crosslinking at ambient conditions during and after paint drying. The low molecular weight polymer penetrates various substrates, including chalky surfaces, to provide improved adhesion. Moreover, because the low molecular weight polymer is self-crosslinking at ambient conditions, the polymer enhances the performance of dried paints, including improving mechanical strength, tannin block properties, and weatherability.

Abstract: A wafer bonding method includes: holding a first substrate with an upper holding mechanism by applying a voltage to the upper holding mechanism; generating a bonded substrate by bonding the first substrate and a second substrate held with a lower holding mechanism; and dechucking the bonded substrate from the upper holding mechanism after a voltage which attenuates while alternating is applied to the upper holding mechanism. By applying the voltage which attenuates while alternating to the upper holding mechanism, residual attracting force between the bonded substrate and the upper holding mechanism is reduced, thereby enabling the bonded substrate to be dechucked from the holding mechanism more surely in a shorter time period. As a result, the first substrate and the second substrate can be bonded in a shorter time period.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses discussed herein provide for localized speed changes of an advancing substrate (102).  Embodiments of a localized speed varying apparatus may include first (110) and second substrate guides (112) positioned upstream and downstream of) a processing station (108), respectively. The substrate guides may utilize orbital motion of guide members (124, 154) to change the length of the substrate within the substrate guides upstream and downstream of the processing station. The changes in substrate length within the substrate guides result in localized speed changes of the substrate between the substrate guides. Coordination between the substrate guides allows for localized speed changes of the substrate passing through the processing station without affecting the speed of the substrate upstream of the first substrate guide and downstream of the second substrate guide.
